Preferably if you were 160-180 pounds. At how many pounds/kg did you start noticing your weightloss?

    Well I'm close to the right height, I'm 5'9. I started at 170 and I just started getting comments this week after losing 15 lbs.

    It depends on where you carry, how much lean mass you have and what your body fat percent is. When I dropped from 173 to 163 I saw a big difference, but that's because my abs were finally visible. Another 10 pounds and my quads looked much better.

    I started at 185 and today i am down 18 pounds and weighing in at 167. I had two coworkers compliment me today and noticed the weightloss.


    I think I need to be down another ten before family notices. Since you know how family sometimes want to be cautious on what they say.

    I'm 5'9 with a starting weight of 215. I was into my new lifestyle only 3 days when people began making comments that my face looked thinner. I hadn't even had my first weekly weigh-in!

    Yes, definitely. Especially when I look at before pics. And I am down from a size 12 to a 10.
